We do rent another double room on airbnb, if you're travelling as a group.

Rosy and Jill have been fantastic, staying in someone's house can always be a little daunting I find, but Jill and Rosy are so easy going, welcoming and inviting. Not to mention the dog Carra. I've had a great time staying with them, and I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking to commute into London, Colchester or the east of Essex. The neighbourhood is great it's very quiet and you feel safe. I would rate my stay completely 5star, and I hope that Jill and Rosy will have me again. Thank you both for having me, keep up the good work i think word of mouth has already spread. :) Matt

CarolynSeptember 2016

Rosie is a very pleasant and helpful host. I very much enjoyed my stay in Chelmsford.

DavidAugust 2016

Very warm welcome and fantastic hosts! Great location. Would reccomend

HolliNovember 2016

Thank you, Rosy and Jill, for making me feel so welcome. The comfort provided by your lovely home enabled me to make the most of my visit to Chelmsford and the Record Office. I look forward to returning again soon.

MatthewAugust 2016

The host was great - prompt to respond to messages and really welcoming on arrival. Everything was provided as advertised and then some, e.g. shelves of kitchen and bathroom products for guest use! Room was veryyy cosy - the size of two single beds, essentially - which made me think it might be priced more appropriately for London than Chelmsford! But I'd still recommend staying here because it's close to the station and I genuinely felt that when the host said make yourself at home, she meant it :)

LauraSeptember 2016

Close to town center and railway station, clean room, friendly hosts, free night parking on street - ticks all boxes if you need place for a few nights

GrigoriySeptember 2016

As a first time AirBnB user, I can say that the experience went smoothly/well. The host/family were friendly and welcoming albeit I did not interact with them too much (due to me being out of the house for most of my stay). The room/house was clean and the house is in a great location. It was quiet, yet still close to the train station (which is great for short stays) and the town centre. Perfect if you want a good nights sleep or want to explore Chelmsford in general. Overall, It was a great stay with nothing to fault and I would recommend Rosy and this room/house.

Double room with glorious en suite. Close walking distance from the mainline station and town center. Restaurants and bars and leisure facilities on the doorstep which will cater for your every need. Private parking for your car.

Private and secluded location right on the river front.

Buses and railway station in easy walking distance

Elaine and her flat were perfect from start to finish. She was quick to get in contact and answer any questions I had prior to staying with her and was a friendly welcoming host for the time we were there. The room itself was excellent and the photos probably don't do it justice. A really nice home to stay in with 2 friendly cats, a comfy bed and lovely en-suite. The apartment was just a few minutes walk from the high street so great for getting to restaurants, bars and shops. Not a bad word to say. Thanks Elaine!

PaulNovember 2015

It was such a delight to stay here, both Elaine and her cats were warm and welcoming. Elaine was very quick to respond to any questions before and during my stay. The flat is lovely, the ensuite is very clean, comfortable and quiet. It is situated in between the rail station and the town centre, it's right beside the river and I loved walking to/from town. It was really lovely to stay there and I'll definitely be heading back as soon as I can.

JenniferApril 2016

I stayed at Elaine's for one night as I was working in Colchester. Really great communication before arriving so I had no problems finding her place and the room. Really comfy bed and lovely en suite bathroom too. I am an animal lover so it was nice to be greeted by her 2 cats as well. Was a lovely stay and I would definitely stay again - thanks Elaine.

GregFebruary 2016

This is a great room with en suite shower and toilet in a very convenient location for the town centre. Elaine is a very welcoming and considerate host, and (the best part for me as I am very allergic to cats) her pets are hypoallergenic so I had no symptoms at all - although Elaine still left out some antihistamine for me, which reflects what a good host she is. Highly recommended.

JamesMarch 2016

Elaine was friendly, relaxed and welcoming; her home is clean, tidy and in good order and I was very comfortable in the room. Parking was straightforward and the neighbourhood seems fine. I would have no hesitation returning to stay with Elaine.

ChrisOctober 2016

Elaine's place is a great find. Lovely modern room and ensuite in a great central location. Elaine was very accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. The use of her parking space was an added bonus. We will definitely stay again.

AlisonSeptember 2016

Elaine was lovely and very approachable. She trusted me with her home and two cats, even alone. With had a nice chat and she was very welcoming. I look forward to staying at Elaine's again!

Bus number 509 or 309 from the airport coach park (309) only for late evening and early morning. Ask for the Cherry Gardens stop on the Stansted Road, Bishop's Stortford.

If you go to this the Interlink website you can get live info, type in Stansted Airport Coach park to Cherry Gardens, Bishop's Stortford.

This is a great place to stay - we highly recommend it (and we have done many Airbnb). Room and bathroom spotlessly clean and bed very comfortable. Kim and John great to talk to about their own travels (if you want). House is lovely, area is lovely and all an east walk to the town centre. Also so close to Stansted airport and public transport right at their street.

DaleSeptember 2016

Extraordinarily friendly, helpful, energetic & capable hosts, with their own extensive travel experience. Kim & John worked wonders together to make our 2-night stay the best possible. We arrived by train from a hectic but very good day in London, around 9 pm, having missed our evening meal. Kim welcomed us and kindly provided tea, an omelette, & sandwiches, & we sat talking at the beautiful oak dining table. We slept soundly & woke to a choice of oatmeal porridge and other good breakfasr food, and met John who had returned from several weeks moutain climbing & biking. Kim & John explained that our rail plan to London for the day had been interrupted by a storm that night, which stopped all rail traffic by unusual flooding. They worked hard to book us onto an express bus to London, finally sending the ticket to my smartphone. Kim drove us to the bus terminus at the nearby airport (Stansted) where we succeeded in getting on the right bus & had another enjoyable day in London. Returning by train (they were running again), we had a good dinner at a very friendly Indian restaurant. After a second good night's sleep we had breakfast including fine home-made gooseberry jam. John kindly drove us to the station (I was on crutches with bad legs & hips). Best possible experience.

DavidSeptember 2016

Everything was perfect ! The room is great, really comfy, with a beautiful blue's bathroom . Close from the center, is a cosy house in a small town with everything you need. The breakfast is good as well: you have many choices (even the tipical porridge !). Lovely, friendly and welcoming couple . Highly recomended!

MatildeSeptember 2016

A welcome landing pad for travellers, Kim and John's place is very close to Stansted airport. John welcomed us with a cup of tea and we had a restful night in a large comfortable room. Thank you for sharing your home with us John and for excellent directions , helping us on our way in the morning.

Joy-LynnOctober 2016

Kim and John were lovely. I had a very early flight out and John was kind enough to drive me to the airport for £15 so I didn't have to worry about taxis or the bus. Their home was lovely, clean, and quiet. I would definitely recommend staying with them.

CateJune 2016

Kim and John are very nice, friendly and helpful people. The location is perfect, within a 10 min walk from the town centre and train/bus station. I fully recommend you to book your stay with them, you will feel like at home.

I stayed with Kim and John very recently while on a business trip to Chelmsford and I could not have been happier with the service from them both. Their house is beautiful and is situated in a lovely housing estate which felt very safe and fairly central to the nearest town. It took around 15 minutes to walk into the town centre, and explore some of the quirky little wine bars (such as The Bishops Cave, which I'd recommend), and also a very nice restaurant (The Water Lane - Sirloin Steak is outstanding). The images portray the bedroom accurately, it is very clean and tidy with some tea and coffee making facilities available. The bathroom is large and quite modern. Also the shower is nice and powerful so thats a plus! Kim had left a space on the drive for me to park my car. Both Kim and John are a lovely couple to talk to, and lead very interesting and adventurous lives! During the night the the area was quiet and I slept very well. The property was warm and bed was comfortable. In the morning they offered to make me some breakfast with a choice of toast, cereal or porridge. I opted for porridge and it was cooked very nicely. They kindly made me a filter coffee and I sat and dined with them at the dinner table. Overall the experience was faultless, the accommodation was great, the surrounding areas were very pleasant to walk around and I'd thoroughly recommend it to anyone looking to stay within the area. I have never booked and stayed in an Airbnb prior to this, but I can assure you that I'll be using it a lot more often when I'm travelling. Thank you again Kim and John for being such good hosts, and making me feel welcome in your home! All the best, Dan

This is a spacious single room in a large, newly decorated house in Wickford, Essex. Includes friendly and helpful host.
Quiet area of the town but within walking distance to the High Street and train station - 30minutes from London.

There is a car park space directly outside the house which is available for your use should you need it.
Full access to rest of the house, apart from my bedroom! Large living room, kitchen and garden which is all available for your use.
I am available most days but work occasional nights. Feel free to join me in shared areas of the house when I'm about. I'm a friendly host and don't mind a bit of company. If you wish to stay in your room, that is also fine. I can be as distant or as involved during your visit as you wish.

Wickford is a lively town with lots of shops, cafes and pubs. Our local pub is lovely; it has a friendly atmosphere and serves great food at a reasonable price. It also gets busy at weekend where it plays hit music and has a dance floor!
Lots of public transport. Bus stops are at either ends of the road and the train station is a straightforward 10 minute walk.
House is next door to a cemetery! No nasty ghosts here though, I promise!

I went to London with two friends, so we stayed at Nina's for a week. She was very friendly and sent me all important information via Mail. Her small flat is lovely and tidy, we really enjoyed spending our time there! There's a Sainsbury's near the flat and the train station isn't für away too, so it was easy to get to London Liverpool Street and back whenever we wanted to. I can really recommend to stay here!

Julia September 2016

Nina was a great host. She was quick to answer any question and left us lovely flowers, bagels and a chocolate Easter bunny for our stay. The flat was very comfortable and beautifully decorated. Thanks Nina for a great stay. We'll be back! Helen and Dom x

HelenApril 2016

Nina was lovely and very welcoming. She was not around as it was around Christmas but I got the keys from a nearby post office. The house was great! Very nice and clean, just as pictured. The neighborhood was convenient, there's a bus stop a short walk away and the train station is about 10 minutes away. The area is quite far from central London however, and since there was no public transportation during Christmas, we couldn't get around. But we could on other days so that was fine. Nina was also quick to respond to messages and was helpful throughout our stay.

JacquelineDecember 2015

Nina's flat was lovely. Very clean warm and cosy. Easy free parking right outside the house. Tube station approximately 10 mins of walking. Comfortable bed. Everything you can possibly need is there. She even left us some bagels and Nutella for breakfast :)) highly recommended, will definitely contact her again if ever need a place to stay in London ;) thank you Nina x

I had a great stay At Karen's. The description of her home is accurate, and the room I stayed in was tidy and comfortable. She communicated easily with me and made sure I had everything I needed. A very simple and positive stay.

Karen was very kind and undestanding . I was super happy to stay here.

NathalieApril 2016

Karen was a lovely host, was very understanding of me getting to the property later than I'd planned, the room was lovely and clean, and with a very nice bed to sleep in. The area was nice and quiet, got the address slightly mixed up with another house of a similar address, but in the end all good, I'd recommend a stay there to anyone.

JackieSeptember 2016

I have enjoyed my stay at Karen's private room in her nice house near by the seaside. The room was a good size, conformable and very clean. I recommend this room to future guests.

AdjaOctober 2015

Karen made me feel extremely welcome. The room was absolutely gorgeous - large and airy with a comfortable bed. The Airbnb pictures don't do it justice. Very clean home and beautiful garden which is well kept. Very quite street and walking distance to quieter part of the beach. Would not hesitate to book again.

A lovely room furnished with antiques and vintage furniture in a beautiful,old wooden house full of history with a footpath to the estuary .
Many local walks and places to visit including the lovely old sailing barges on the quay at Maldon.

This is a timber framed, black weather boarded house in a residential area on the outskirts of Maldon. The house is very old and some parts of it date back to the 14th Century. It is full of character and has a small but beautiful dry garden at the front and a small, shaded, woodland style garden at the back with garden furniture so it can be used to eat outside in fine weather .
Behind the house is the beginning of the sea wall footpath which is a beautiful walk which takes you all along the Blackwater Estuary with it's unique salt marshes and huge skies . The Heybridge Basin with it's canal lock, boats and barges ,pubs and the Tiptree jam tea rooms is just a pleasant 20 minute stroll from the house. But for serious walkers it is possible to walk along the sea wall all the way to the picturesque village of Goldhanger and the lovely Chequers pub or, even further to Tollesbury and from there to Mersea Island.
Maldon, famous for it's salt and sailing, is a 20 minute walk and has shops, many pubs and the quay with the famous Thames Barges which regularly sail up the river and can be booked for trips.
As well as the Blackwater Estuary which is famous for it's many classic boats and the wealth of regattas and sailing events, there are many beautiful old villages in Essex which are a bit of a secret.
For garden lovers the famous Beth Chatto gardens are about a 40 minute car ride from the house and the RHS garden Hyde Hall is a 15 minute car ride and we would be happy to organise a trip there incorporating other attractions in the area.
The house has WiFi connection and parking on the drive next to the house . Breakfast is simple - home made muesli, organic yoghurt, fruit, toast and speciality jams and marmalades (many local and/or homemade ). We are happy to cater for special dietary needs if given advanced notice. Also we are able to provide a delicious evening meal if required.
Belinda lived in Italy for many years and is an illustrator and artist as well as a very keen cook and gardener. Noel is a cameraman and passionate sailor and has many small wooden clinker- built boats around the house , as well as a beautiful classic gaff rigged yacht, on which it may be possible to sail should you have sea legs. He also has many an amusing tale to tell and will certainly entertain you.
The room is a twin bedded room with exposed wooden beams and vintage furniture. It has it's own private but separate bathroom with bath and shower.
The nearest railway station is Witham, a 15 minute taxi journey or 25 minute bus ride, from which it is a 40 minute train ride to Liverpool Street in London. We can arrange to pick guests up from the station if prearranged.
The nearest airport is London Stansted, which is a 40 minute car journey. Also we can arrange a pick up if pre arranged with an extra fee.
We have two cats Nancy and Frankie, and a young rescue dog Flora in the process of being trained but she is very sweet .
Guests can make themselves hot drinks and use the dining room and sitting room should they wish. In the summer they are welcome to sit outside and enjoy the small, but lush back garden.
We really enjoy meeting our guests and usually share long chats over breakfast.

The walks along the sea wall here are beautiful. The skies are huge and there is a wealth of wildlife, in particular wading birds, just minutes away.
There is also a canal path which leads to a sea lock and a lovely tearoom with fantastic views of the estuary.
There are bus stops at the end of the road with services to Colchester and the nearest railway station at Witham. We are around 40 minutes drive from Stansted airport and 40 minutes train journey away from London Liverpool Street.

Belinda (and her husband) were wonderful hosts. They've crafted a magic little home, and generously folded us into their life there (if only briefly). They're knowledgable about the area and were great conversational companions.

BenFebruary 2014

Thank you Belinda and Noel for a wonderful stay. The garden in the main photo is even lovelier in real life. It is a credit to you and quite an honour to meet and talk with a talented plants person. The house is a delight full of fascinating treasures collected over quite a time which suit perfectly the gorgeous wooden cottage.

IanJune 2015

We spent a wonderful weekend in this sleepy part of Essex, due mostly to the warm and friendly hospitality of Belinda and Noel. You couldn't ask for a better welcome: a cosy atmospheric room, a house full of character and charm, delicious breakfasts, funny and engaing conversations and great recommendations. They know lots about the local area and were able to suggest bracing walks, tearooms and places to visit. we loved it and would go back at the drop of a hat. Thank you.

Nicola May 2015

Quirky and quaint house in a lovely quiet location with a nice estuary walk. Close to Maldon town as well as good local pubs. Amazing host. We will be returning

RyanMay 2015

Belinda was a perfect host - she has a very calm aura which in turn makes your stay very calm and relaxed - if you want a peaceful retreat, look no further. Belinda is one of those people who you instantly like which is really the best thing about Airbnb - meeting people like Belinda

This is one of those stays where we didn't want to leave. Belinda and her husband made us feel absolutely at home in their wonderfully quirky and old house. We enjoyed the history of the place, a long walk on the seawall right out the back door, and long conversation with Belinda. The twin beds were very comfortable - one is soft, one is harder - and the bathroom was well equipped. There was zero traffic noise outside, unlike what I've heard about hotels in the area, and we slept GREAT. If you're going to Heybridge, skip the hotels and stay with a couple fantastic locals. Hope you love it as much as we did!

Stay in a typical British village and enjoy the countryside with London only a 30 minutes train ride away. Within 10minutes from my home you are in the High Street, where there are pubs and supermarkets, and within 12minutes you get to train station

A fantastic master bedroom with en-suite bathroom set in romantic village of Ingatestone, just 28 minutes by train away from London.
The master double bedroom comes with en-suite bathroom, and is large enough to put a baby cod or children's bed in, if required. The en-suite includes a toilet, shower and washbasin. Besides the double bed, there is a writing desk, sofa and small walk-in wardrobe in the room. If you are booking the accommodation for 3 adults, please note that there will be one queen size bed in the room and one single mattress.
There is free wireless access in the house.
A travelcard with a discount network card for London from Ingatestone costs £16.50 or just £13 at the weekend - Children under the age of 15 travel for around £3 - and includes all bus, underground and DLR for all London Zones. Please note that travelcards are only available after the rush hour, getting you into London around 10.30am. If you want to head away from London, Chelmsford is one stop away and cost about £5 return or you can directly head to Ipswich and other places on the South East coast, like Norwich. Places like Norwich, Ipswich and smaller stations in beautiful Suffolk are easily reached by train.
If you travel by car, there is free off road parking in front of my house, or you would be welcome to park on my small drive way.
The accommodation suits anyone who wants to visit London, but does not fancy being right in the heart of a big city, or if you want to explore Essex country side. The house comes with a lovely south facing garden, providing a great retreat in the summer. If needed, I can arrange babysitting for the evenings - the London West End is reached in less than one hour with trains running to Ingatestone till about midnight.
I have used Air B and B throughout my travels and will be happy to advise on travel tips for the local area or London.
Kitchen, garden and dining room.

Ingatestone is about 35km away from central London, with antique and gift shops in the High Street, plenty of country pubs and a deer forest reached by foot. My house is both close to the local High Street and train station, reaching central London in 28 minutes - London Liverpool Street Station - or London Stratford in just two direct stops, taking less than 20 minutes, where you can connect with the London tube system.
Arriving in England:
Closest airport from my house are London Stanstead - a taxi costs about £60.
London Southend is easily reached by trains, conveniently the train station is right opposite the air terminal, trains to and from London Southend take about 30 minutes.
London Heahtrow can be reached by car in about 90 minutes, or two hours by train - Heathrow is in the West of London, my place is in the East, so hence this is the most furthest airport away to get to.
London Gatwick is about 90 minutes away by train. Please note that reaching London Gatwick from mine involves three train/bus changes and is therefore not convenient if you have a lot of luggage.
Please note that the house is shared with my family and another tenants. Kitchen, garden and living area are shared spaces.

A perfect room in a great house, better than expected, a mini apartment really at the top of the house with its own bathroom and Sofa. Martina and her family were very friendly and made me feel like one of the family for the week, I would definitely recommend this place if you are in the area. Ingatestone was a lovely place to spend the week with lots of interesting shops.

EbJuly 2016

Martina is an amazing and very polite host! She is very helpful, thoughtful and will do anything she can to make you feel at home. Very modern and lovely house as well. The location is nice and quiet but also close to London, which is great! Deano and her cats are so cute! We had so much fun staying at Martina's place! And we would totally recommend anyone to stay at Martina's trendy house! Thanks Again!!

SimoneSeptember 2013

Martina and her family were lovely! Looked after us from the moment we stepped through the door to the moment we left. Perfect location for V Festival too! Thank you so much for a lovely stay x

My brother and his friends were fortunate enough to stay at Martina's after I was unable to make it due to work. And they spoke so highly of the accommodation. From the cleanliness and modern interior of the property to the wonderful hospitality provided by Martina. She was even kind enough to provide some complimentary beers in the fridge in their room. They couldn't fault their stay with Martina - and we'll definitely return next year! Thanks again!

BenSeptember 2012

Martina made us feel right at home, she made us feel like we were part of her family. She helped us with EVERYTHING!, she went beyond to help us on anything we needed, transportation, phone numbers, places to see. She was wonderful and her cute little dog Dino helped entertain my little boy and niece. It was a pleasure staying with her.

A quirky 'little' Victorian house with a big welcome.
Primarily aimed at business/work travellers, on a Mon-Fri basis. Basic breakfast included in price.
Ideal for Ipswich College/University - a 15/20 minute walk. Also for BT Adastral Park, shuttle buses stop yards away.
Easy access to London, East Coast and Midlands via the A12/A14. Rail/bus stations are close by. Town is a 15/20 minute walk to restaurants, cafes, bars and the marina.

The bedroom is freshly decorated and lovely, I'm quite jealous of it!
A simple, but comfy and relaxing space for you to put your head down and hopefully get a good nights sleep in a brand new bed.
With a Zen type feel to it, I have chosen a base colour of teal, with a purple splash and luxurious crystal accessories. A stereo is in there if you want a little music, an alarm clock and a little desk if you need it - made by my own fair hands and in line for a new lick of paint. :) Towels and guest dressing gowns are provided.
But I do have to point out that is is a small single room, with a 'brand new shorty bed', it's 'not' a standard single. The bed is 2'6" wide and 190cm long. So without prejudice, this bed would not suit larger or taller guests.
And being a quirky and original Victorian cupboard stairwell, the room is also accessible with a small step 'up out of' and a step 'down into' the stair well. A grab rail is in place, but there is a simple knack - we've been doing it for 17 years now. :D It's a 'quirky' room in a quirky house that was built in 1866 for the rail and dock workers of the town, named 'Myrtle terrace'. :)
The bathroom is also downstairs on the ground floor, at the rear of the house via the kitchen. At nights, low lights will be left on should you need to get up in the night, as the landing light is across the stairs from the room.
The University and College are within walking distance along our Marina and BT Adastral Park is accessible by shuttle buses, which stop just yards from our door. Easy access to the A12 and A14 for London and East Coast. The Rail station is a fair walk from us, but can be done in about 20-30 minutes - so a taxi is recommended. There are two bus stations in town, depends on what part of Ipswich you want to get to. Town is a 15/20 minute walk, with the Marina en route and plenty of restaurants, cafes, bars etc.,
Novotel and the Uni are a short walk away, Felixstowe seafront a 15 minute drive (longer by bus), Colchester 17 miles away, Bury St Edmunds 28 miles, Norwich an hour or so drive, Lowestoft and Yarmouth a bit further. Lots of beautiful countryside, Framlingham Castle isn't far away, quaint little villages, including Constable Country just down the road! We are ideally located for access to all of this. :D
So the room is ideal for business/work travelers, attending meetings, courses etc., and is available on a Mon-Fri basis. Basic breakfast is provided, with a choice of cereal, toast or croissants and jams. Breakfast will be put out for you to self serve. For other meals, you can use the small galley kitchen, but please clean up behind you. I have two fridges, so there is space for you to keep food. :)
The house is on the main A137 into town, so please ask for options about parking if you are driving. However, we live in and love our quirky 'little' Victorian terraced house and in the last year, we have had a lot of work done to open it up and modernize it. It is almost finished, but there are still some jobs to finish, which I'm slowly doing myself. But it is a comfortable and homely space with a warm welcome regardless. And we look forward to your company. :D
Guests will generally be greeted by myself. I work part time mornings only, so 'booking in' is relative to this. Key provision will be discussed on arrival, should it be required - but I am around most of the time anyway.
You are welcome to join us for a cuppa and a chat, watch TV with us, snuggle with the cat etc., but if you want the peace of your room, that is fine too. And music is always on in the house if the TV isn't, music is my passion. I have an 'almost' teenager here, so mornings can be a bit hectic for high school and work.
We fully respect your privacy and security, so we would hope you feel the same whilst sharing our home. We are easy going and down to earth, happy to share. We are homely and spend a lot of time here, our main activities are at weekends, when we socialize etc., our week nights are not overly busy in the main, so feel free to chill out while here. :D

We are on a main road, but the room is at the back of the house, so this has little impact on your stay as far as resting goes. We are not far from anything and have a reasonable nightlife around the town. I get on well with my neighbours and in general, we hear little from them. All very peaceful here.
Buses, trains, taxis - reasonably easy to get around.
As described, the house is small and quaint, a typical Victorian terrace, with our personal touch. We are in the process of finishing the house, so don't be surprised if you arrive and I have a paint brush in my hand. ;)
No lock on the door, but your possessions will be fine. We respect your privacy, as we expect it also.

It's a small, cozy and nice place where you can easily spend a week. Audrey is a very sweet and takes very good care of you if you are new in town. Both, her daughter and Audrey have been great in hospitality.

Fawkes Perch is a self-contained studio apartment furnished in a contemporary style in West Mersea. It's a 5 minute walk from the beautiful monkey beach.The apartment is below our own flat and is one large room, with a king size double bed and a large corner sofa-bed. It has a small kitchen too. The property is ideal for a couple but the sofa bed in the room which would be ideal for children but would be a bit cosy for four adults in the room unless you all knew each other really well!

The self-contained apartment is below our own flat. The apartment is one large room, with a king size double bed and a large corner sofa-bed. The property is ideal for a couple but the sofa bed in the room which would be ideal for children but would be a bit cosy for four adults in the room unless you all knew each other really well! There is a lovely walk in shower and an ‘Elfin Kitchen’ located in the corner of the room with fridge, combi oven and two hotplates.
There isn’t a garden, but like us we hope you will prefer to spend your evenings walking along the beach or enjoying a drink and the sea views at the local pub, both about 5 minutes walk. There is a table and chairs outside for alfresco dining.
We provide towels and bedlinen for the flat so all you need to pack are swimming costumes and beach towels. There will be fresh flowers, tea, coffee and milk all in place for your arrival.
You will have private use of the apartment, ensuite bathroom and the 'Elfin kitchen'
We aren’t always around but our friend lives locally and will provide her contact details so she can deal with any problems should they arise.

There are plenty of opportunities to eat out locally, the Art Café across the road serves a range of breakfasts lunches and afternoon teas. It is lovely stroll along the coast out to the famous Company shed passing many other options on the way. Or you could pick up a woodfired pizza from the new restaurant round the corner. The carnivore in our family raves about the butchers! The fish and chips are also popular – normally eaten on the beach. We’ve only recently discovered the delights of Mersea ourselves, and can’t believe it has taken us so long to discover this Essex gem. and find it difficult to get beyond the local beach as it is so beautiful.
It is really accessible by public transport, a regular bus-service from Colchester stops metre from the apartment.
Parking for one vehicle is available – we’ll send details. Dinghy and secure cycle parking may be possible – please contact us.
There is level access throughout, although not designed for wheelchair users, please contact us to discuss if our apartment can meet your needs.

The host canceled this reservation 5 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We stayed at Gareth place for 5 nights and we really enjoyed it so much. The place has a complete new furniture. Everything was there and will never be better. Gareth was so helpful and understanding. Definitely will stay there of I came around and for sure recommend it for all.

MohammedAugust 2016

We enjoyed our stay at Fawkes Perch, the flat is centrally located on Mersea but very quiet. It is tastefully furnished, well equipped, light and comfortable.

SusanNovember 2016

Modern,quite and clean apartment with good location. Close to the beach and shops. Walking distance to everywhere. Opposite the road is art caffe with very nice food. We realy enjoyed our stay in Mersea as there is plenty of romantic walks and friendly people. We hope to return here again in the winter. Thanks

PawloAugust 2016

This is a small but well equipped studio flat, we had a lovely relaxing weekend here. The sofa bed is larger and more comfortable than normal so the flat was fine for us and our two small children for the weekend. Everything was clean and tidy. There is a small mini-kitchen which is fine for cooking breakfast or ready meals. Gareth the host responded quickly to a few questions we had about collecting the keys. West Mersea is a lovely quiet place to get away from it all at the weekend, we were able to visit the beach which is about 5 minutes walk away. The village itself has lots of independent shops and coffee bars that are just a minute from the flat, we visited the indian restaurant which was excellent (especially considering there is no competition locally!) The wood-fired pizzeria near the flat was also good. We will definitely be returning to West Mersea and would stay at this flat again.

SimonOctober 2016

Lovely little apartment, just as advertised. Central location minutes from beach and shops.

AdamSeptember 2016

The apartment was small but well furnished. The people in the (peaceful) close were friendly, as were the locals further afield. Recommended eating is the Art Café for breakfast and the Coast Inn for dinner - try the seafood chowder. Mersea Island is a recently discovered delight. Fawkes Perch complemented our stay on the island.

MartinOctober 2016

A modern apartment situated directly on the Broadway amongst Leigh's hustle n' bustle. A short walk to the bars, beach & Chalkwell station with direct links into London Fenchurch and just 15 minutes drive to London Southend airport. Leigh on Sea; one of the happiest places to live :-)

The apartment is situated in a prime location in the heart of Leigh on Sea with the beach on your doorstep and a plethora of bars, restaurants and boutique style shops in the Broadway. Please note this is a lively area at times with cars heading into the Broadway & at times the odd drunken reveller. Just a short walk will take you to Old Leigh where you can visit the more traditional types of pubs and enjoy seafood and a pint by the water, as well as visit art galleries or visit the beach and tea houses. Old Leigh is full of charm and character!
All kitchen appliances
Wi-fi
TV (freebies only)
Private car parking space
I will do a meet and greet to pass keys over and quick orientation if needed and of course on hand throughout your booking as and when required to ensure you have a pleasant stay.

It's wonderful location and how easy it is to get to the beach or London! It's located right on the Broadway among all the bars so can get lively.
Yes, trains, buses, planes, taxis, all easy to catch!
This is a first floor flat and extremely safe and secure. It's a central location in the hub of Leigh, so the weekends can be lively! Within easy reach of lots of bars! It's perfect for a seaside escape or equally for someone needing a home and needing to travel into the city which only takes 50mins maximum from Chalkwell station on the very reliable C2C line.

Nice, very modern flat centrally located in Leigh. Jenna responded well to all our questions, and we loved the experience.

LarryOctober 2016

Jenna's apartment was spotlessly clean and very comfortable with all the amenities you would need. Jenna herself was an extremely friendly and helpful host providing me with all the additional information I needed for my stay. I would highly recommend her and if I return to Leigh-on-Sea, I'll definitely stay in her apartment again.

MattAugust 2016

Very welcoming. Central location

Ianfrbs1September 2016

As our host, Jenna made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The apartment was pristinely clean and plushly furnished, and features one bedroom, a kitchen and living area, and a balcony. It comfortably houses two people, and while the bed was a luxurious large double, Jenna was happy to provide extra sheets so one of us could sleep on her couch, as that suited us more. In addition to a TV and Hi-Fi system in the living room, there was also a TV built into the wall surrounding the bathtub. We didn’t have time to give it a try, but just to know that we could was a delightful novelty. Leigh-on-Sea is a vibrant and colourful area, and it really helped to have a fun guide written by someone who actually lives there. Thanks to Jenna’s advice, we found all the little restaurants, bars and cafés that make Leigh-on-Sea so special. It wasn’t easy leaving our cosy accommodation, but Jenna’s expert tips meant that when we did venture outside, not a single moment of our holiday was wasted.

BobAugust 2016

Jenna was a lovely host. Very helpful during the check in and very accommodating to say the least. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

NadiaNovember 2016

This was my first AirBNB booking! If the standard is as good for this property as the others I will use it again! Myself and my wife really loved the accommodation. It was clean, bright and airy & high spec (a TV in the bathroom don't you know!!) and in a good part Leigh right near all the bars, restaurants and cafes. Because of this there is a bit of outside noise, which is to be expected, but we both slept really well in the comfy bed provided and were not disturbed. Our host Jenna was extremely helpful and was happy to provide local information on places to eat and drink. We visit Southend a few times a year to see family, normally we book a Premier Inn, won't be doing that anymore! Will be using our home from home in Leigh!! Good value and comfortable. Thanks Jenna.

SteveAugust 2016

Perfect little flat with a homely feel. It has everything you would possibly need and is in a great location close to a variety of nice bars and restaurants and a short walk from the sea front. Jenna is a great host and does everything possible to make your stay perfect.

MaximOctober 2016

I had a fantastic stay at this fabulous apartment hosted by Jenna in Leigh on Sea. The apartment is situated within short walking distance of all the great things Leigh has to offer, great bars and restaurants just about on your doorstep. As it was my first time using airbnb I was pleasantly surprised with the whole experience. Jenna has been a fantastic host going above and beyond my expectations. Thank you once again Jenna

A cosy cottage located between London and Cambridge, near Saffron Walden. The perfect escape from city life! Sleeps 4-5. One double bed, one child's bed, one inflatable double mattress available.
The cottage is close to great views, family-friendly activities, train station, country walks, bakery, beauty salon, corner shop, pubs.
My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travellers, and families (with kids).

Newport train station is a 3 minute walk away with direct trains into London and Cambridge.

Lovely old house and really nicely restored, all we needed and even had a welcome pack with cereal and coffee etc...really good communication and all we needed for our (URL HIDDEN) hesitation in recommending.

christianSeptember 2016

I and my family loved this place and I can recomend it (especially for families). We flew into Stansted, visited the Air Musem in Duxford, went to Cambridge and London.

UweJuly 2016

Lovely, clean, well located cottage. We stayed there with our 1 year old and it was perfect for us. Victoria was very accomodating - leaving us breakfast supplies and also a travel cot. Highly recommended.

It is a lovely quaint cottage in very nice surroundings. The neighbouring town - Saffron Walden is a short drive away which caters for most needs. The listing description was accurate and Victoria provided useful literature on the local area. Breakfast was provided for us for the following morning which was thoughtful. Victoria was accomodating in providing a high chair and travel cot for our son.

AshpalNovember 2016

Great place. Victoria really went out of her way to answer all my questions and concerns. Thoroughly recommend.

KristinaAugust 2016

Victoria is a lovely host. She replied quickly to all my queries and was very informative. Unfortunately we didn't get to meet as we arrived later than we hoped and Victoria had a train to catch. The cottage is wonderful! So cosy and lovingly restored. The location was ideal with the train station only a few minutes away and central to all we needed. Victoria had left a welcome pack which was a thoughtful gesture. My youngest son loved playing with the toys and looking at the books! Only minor problem we had was not enough kitchen crockery / utensils as we ate in every night. The double bed frame might benefit from a carpenter having a look at it. Everything else was perfect! Plenty of clean towels.Thanks for a lovely stay. We hope to return again soon

We absolutely loved our weekend in Bluebell Yurt. It was cold and rainy which just made the log fire and hot tub even more enjoyable. It was relaxing, romantic and unusual. The bed was amazingly comfortable and we enjoyed walking around the lakes. The hosts were all helpful and welcoming and we'd definitely stay again :-)

EmmaNovember 2015

Absolutely amazing! We stayed for 3 nights and it was perfect, lovely relaxing cosy yurt. Beautiful and peaceful just want I wanted for my birthday with amazing pubs and restaurants near by for tasty food. the hot tub was amazing, so lovely to chill out and look at the stars. Would recommend to anyone!

The entire experience was fabulous! Myself & my partner stayed in the yurt for two nights & were very impressed with both our accommodation & the warm welcome we received from Gary & Sue who were very helpful & friendly throughout. The little touches to the yurt, from the cosy fire to the scented candles, made everything seem magical! The lake is beautiful & there are many things to do in the surrounding towns. I would highly recommend this to anybody! Thanks again Gary & Sue it was a real pleasure!

NinaDecember 2015

This was one of the most amazing weekends I have ever had! The yurt is stunning and the attention to detail blew me away. The setting is beautiful and very relaxing.

Really great experience with Irram and her apartment. Nice space in a very good location. Felt homely and safe. Irram was very good in terms of meeting me - nothing was a problem. The only issue was a lack of parking but this would NOT stop me using the apartment again.

The Poppy is a small apartment within our rural farmhouse. On the first floor ( great views),you share our front door but are fully self -contained and have use of our extensive English country garden & meadows. It is quiet & idyllic.Car essential.

Fully self-contained within the main house, two bedrooms- one twin one double, small galley kitchen, shower/toilet
Guest access is to your own apartment only but you have full use of garden and grounds
Generally we are there to offer help etc

This is very rural.. a retreat really, the nearest neighbour can just about be seen. Nearest shop is 7 minutes drive. The nearest town is Saffron Walden, very beautiful and historic
Public transport is not good but the park and ride to Cambridge is 24 minutes away and means you don't need to tackle city traffic
We are half an hour from Cambridge city so you do need a car. However there are some picturesque medieval towns and villages nearby and lots of country walks, local pubs , bird watching is great etc

Jess was not able to be there during our stay but arranged for a friend to welcome us which she did with lovely bottle of freshly pressed apple juice. Another friend staying in the house gave us a fresh egg in a time of need! The suite is very roomy and well appointed with a peaceful garden and rural outlook. It was a great base for exploring the beautiful Essex villages and Cambridge.

We had a lovely stay in the Poppy Suite run by Jess and Martyn. Welcomed with home made scones, jam and bread, and even some fresh eggs from the resident chickens! The flat had all you would need for a short stay, it was clean and comfortable. The views from the flat were fabulous and the gardens of the house just beautiful. We hope to visit again!

TracyMay 2016

We had a very pleasant stay in the Poppy suite. Jess is a great host and even baked us fresh bread one day. Very tasty. The apartment has everything you need for a pleasant stay. It easily fits 4 people. The apartment is true to its name, as it is decorated with Poppy flowers. Really nice. The apartment is very clean. From Hempstead you can easily reach Saffron Walden, Cambridge and other places. The closest village is Steeple Bumpstead with a very nice pub called Fox and Hounds. The pub has good food for a vey reasonable price. I would surely recommend the Poppy Suite!

NuriaOctober 2016

Jess and Martyn were great - really hospitable and helpful. We stayed in the studio in the end rTher than the poppy suite and it was fab, we really enjoyed the garden and lazy mornings in the conservatory. Thank you!

SamJune 2016

Wonderful host, made us feel very welcomed at their beautiful and tranquil apartment. Everything very clean and luxurious. Thanks very much for the homemade bread, jams and scones!

GeorginaOctober 2015

Great place and great host! Both the apartment and the studio are nice and comfortable, and the location is great, but you do need the car to go around. Jess is a great host, very helpful and accommodating, and her baked goods delicious :)

FrancescaSeptember 2015

What a lovely stay at the Poppy Suite! Jess welcomed us with freshly baked bread and scones, jam and clotted creme! The apartment is spacious, comfortable, sparkling clean and full of charm with incredible views! Jess and Martyn are wonderful hosts - they offered lots of information about the local area and detailed instructions with maps of beautiful walks. We would definitely stay here again and enthusiastically recommend Jess and Martyn's Poppy Suite!
